URGENT PLEA FROM A US SOLDIER TO SAVE A PUPPY'S LIFE

Guardians of Rescue International received a desperate plea for help from a US soldier serving on the other side of the world, asking us to save the life of a tiny puppy found close to death, whimpering and shivering in a ditch in Korea.

And so begins the story of a puppy named “Chance", saved by this US soldier in the middle of nowhere… and at that very moment, the soldier's heart was touched deeply by this innocent little cold pup. He scooped him up in his arms and placed him inside his jacket against his chest to quickly warm him up as it was obvious he was suffering from hypothermia.

With areas of Korea known for the dog meat trade, this Hero realized that we are the only hope for his puppy to be spared of the cruel Korean dog meat trade or other unknown ill-fate.

Chance cannot be kept on base because it is against military regulations. This is why his soldier is reaching out to us, over 14k miles away. Knowing that time is of the essence, we are immediately springing into action and are in "24 HOUR CRISIS MODE". Coordinating these efforts from the other side of the world is challenging, time consuming, and costly but both Guardians of Rescue International and this soldier are determined to save this puppys life.

In the short time that he has had this pup in his care, he expressed that his morale has been boosted, especially knowing he could save this puppy with our assistance. An undeniable bond was forged between the two. Although a sad goodbye is necessary at this time, he has requested that he be reunited with Chance this July when his tour of duty in Korea ends and he returns to the US. We would be honored to fulfill this request, as it is the least that we can do for one of our Military Heroes who serves our country proudly in protecting our freedom.

We cannot do this without your help. No donation is too small, and every cent is greatly needed & appreciated. 100% of every dollar goes towards this rescue mission and all donations are tax-deductible and go directly towards Chance’s veterinary costs, temporary care and transport expenses to safely get him to the US and then ultimately reunited with his savior.
